Mamma Mia: 10 of The Chicest Pizzas in Manila

Behold, the perfect excuse to stuff your face—today is International Pizza Day! In celebration of this momentous occasion, we at Preview give you a roundup of Manila's chicest pies and why we love them. Let us count the ways...

Originally hailing from Brooklyn and founded by Chef Matthieu Palombino, Motorino has been deemed as one of the best Neapolitan-style pizzerias in New York. Experience authentic Italiana with their classic Margherita!

Salvatore Cuomo's Quattro Formaggio, P750, Uptown Parade Mall

This crowd favorite is served with honey to drizzle so you can eat it the way they do in Napoli! Expect nothing less than the real deal from Italian-Japanese chef Salvatore Cuomo.

Nolita (short for North of Little Italy) only serves this sunny side up-topped pie on weekends, so be sure to keep a Saturday free! In our opinion, the perfectly-fried egg tempers the tomato sauce's tanginess, setting the backdrop for a generous sprinkling of steak chunks.

Nonna's Pasta & Pizzeria's Funghi Trifolati, P375, Solenad 3

Pomodoro sauce, mozzarella and ricotta cheese, rosemary, and a medley of mushrooms make up this mouthwatering house specialty. All Nonna's pizzas are made using Italian doppio zero flour and baked in an old-fashioned brick oven!

Homemade sausage, mushroom, eggs, Gouda cheese, and cream may sort of sound like a weird combination, but after the first bite, you'll immediately know why this is one of Gino's easy bestsellers.

Pezzo Pizza's Assorted Flavor Pizza, P529, Robinson's Place Manila

You read that right! Choose from a dozen pan pizza flavors to create a custom pie of your own! Slices go for P89-P110 each, but you can get a mix-and-matched box of six for P529. We reccomend you try the Supremo, the jalapeno-heavy Mexicana, and the meat-laden Big Daddy.
